The mayor of a lonall city in Illinois was much in favor of installing water works and a sewer sy.^t,em. The citi-' zens, however, objected to the improve¬ ments, ecause tbey were i>orfectly sat¬ isfied with their cisterns and did no£.= believe they would leak. The mayor was equally jiofiitive that the cesspooU did leak into and contaminate the cia- terns, so that one night he sent a man ' around anc* had him dump a gallon of kerosene into every ceasp«xjl. The next morning the citizens were won¬ dering how kerosene got into their cla- tema. «
